<p>I'm very gratefull to all the people who helped with the development, 
    by discussion, fixes, and as users. It was pleasant
    to see all that involvement, which made the library much better than it
    would be otherwise.
  </p>
<p>In the early stages, the library was affected by discussions with 
    Gennadiy Rozental, William Kempf and Alexander Okhotin.
  </p>
<p>Hartmut Kaiser was the first person to try the library on his project
    and send a number of suggestions and fixes.    
  </p>
<p>The formal review lead to numerous comments and enhancements. Pavol
  Droba helped with the option description semantic. Gennadiy Rozental has
  criticised many aspects of the library which caused various simplifications.
  Pavel Vozenilek did carefull review of the implementation. A number of
  comments were made by:
